loadModel() changes FormHelper output in Cake 2.0.4

I suspect this might be a bug--looking for confirmation, and/or advice
on the best place to report it.

I have a controller with no associated model. In other words,
public $uses = null;

I use FormHelper to build a form for a controller action. Because
there is no model, the form's ID and input names are not decorated
with the model name.

I use loadModel() to help process the submitted form values, after
checking $this->request->isPost(). When FormHelper creates the form
after this, it uses the loaded model name in the form's ID and input
names. This means subsequently submitted form values have "moved" to
a different location in $this->request->data.

Maybes the workaround is to call loadModel() on every action, whether
I need to use it or not...but that is awkward.
